Matinee

1993 · TMDB 6.7

A showman introduces a small coastal town to a unique movie experience and capitalizes on the Cuban Missile crisis hysteria with a kitschy horror extravaganza combining film effects, stage props and actors in rubber suits in this salute to the B-movie.

I remember reading the reviews about this in 93. Total drubbing from empire and the ilk. Only just got round to watching it, 32 years later and it's great. Boy, those 90s film mags didn't know how good they had it!
